President Donald Trump likened NATO’s offer to support the United States in the Iran war to the concept of campaign contributions after winning an election, as he spoke at a Turning Point USA event on Friday night.

“After I won, people came up to me, ‘Sir, I’d like to make a major contribution to your campaign.’ And I said, ‘Listen, just so you understand, campaign contributions after I won don’t count.’ And NATO, after we won, that doesn’t count either, it’s the same thing,” Trump said.
